Young Lives vs Cancer helps families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day, 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

£70 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home, a free place for families to stay close to specialist hospitals when their child is going through treatment, keeping families together.

4 months post chemo

Tuesday 7th Apr
In July, Joseph was 4 and looking forward to starting school in September with his brother and sister when he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Burkitt's). At the time of diagnosis, he had tumours in his lungs, liver, kidneys, bowels and a mass of 8×6cm in his abdomen. But thankfully, it hadn't spread to his bones or his blood. They started treatment prior to diagnosis as he was very unwell. He was transferred to St George's hospital at the beginning of his treatment and spent 5 days on a ventilator and dialysis in PICU. Jo then spent 5 months at the Royal Marsden and had 5 rounds of chemo which involved a lumber puncture with chemo at the start and end of every round to try and prevent future brain tumours. On discharge from hospital, he was unable to walk and has been in remission since November and going from strength to strength. He is having 6 weekly check-ups at the Royal Marsden and fingers crossed he stays in remission
